Review of the state of the art as of the late 1990's emphasizes sociability and usability as twin pillars of online communities.

This book addresses an issue that is increasingly relevant: how to foster good online interactions (what the author refers to as sociability). Pitched to a non-technical audience, this book covers some technical material about creating online communities, but it also covers registration, moderation, lurking and other social aspects of communities, and how to deal with them.
This book is worth a glance for anyone trying to build interactive services online.

Algo datado tendo em atenção o fenómeno da World Wide Web e, mais recentemente, dos dispositivos e aplicações móveis.
Apesar deste reparo, um texto ainda útil e que existindo em biblioteca vale bem a pena explorar.
